In T.W. Patterson Building, with vehicle traffic relatively low, dust from nearby fields and occasional burning are the bigger day-to-day factors. Tree cover in the area softens the impact somewhat, catching particulates before they disperse further. Actual daily readings vary with weather, time of day, and short-term local activity. The surrounding area tends to follow a similar pattern, with only minor local variation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in T.W. Patterson Building right now?
On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in T.W. Patterson Building is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.4/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (O3: 35.4/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in T.W. Patterson Building?
From November to January, average wind speeds run around 8 km/h with temperatures near 11°C, calm and cool enough to let particulate matter and smoke build up near the ground rather than disperse. From June to August, temperatures average around 29°C, warm enough for strong sun and heat to drive ground-level ozone formation.
Are air quality levels in T.W. Patterson Building based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
